C&G feeding tube OSCE is just a chart of different weight of cat and dog and how many ml a day they need of liquid diet. So for example you have a 5kg cat, it needs 200ml a day. Then the sheet may tell you the cat needs 5 meals a day. so the calculation is just 200ml / 5.

This was in June, no requirement for working out k/cal etc. All fairly straight forward.

Instruments were are a mix of regular every day ones and some orthopaedics. There were only 1 or 2 I got wrong and only because they put some in that looked very similar and I could not tell them apart.

Not many unusual instruments in my tasks, mostly every day ones with a few orthopaedic.

In my OSCE I think there was a short list of foods to choose from, but only one liquid food so pretty easy to choose. However that was RCVS so not sure if different with C&G. Didn't have to work of kcal/ml just the quantity at each feed based over a 24hr period.

Good luck :)

I'm not 100% certain on this but I believe that there will be a selection of diets and they will give you the kcal/ml for each of these. I would choose the most calorie dense so that you can administer the smallest volume possible whilst meeting the patients calorie requirement.
